just don't see that going away with buying an f150 but i could be wrong.
I get about 13 mph towing my big rig around. And mine is a diesel. They say once u break a diesel in, 25,000 miles, it is supposed to get better. Mine has almost 55,000 miles and I havent noticed much.

Yeh I would def go with a 3/4 ton for a good sized bay boat. It is a miserable ride in a 1/2 ton. Only prob is my buddy bought a 2011 King Ranch F-250 4x4 the other day, said he paid $57k. Yikes!

I got mine for $40k, but thats when they were basically giving diesels away when diesel prices were through the roof.

I know off subject, but i wanna see that new 2500 Denali!
